The afternoon light spills gold through the classroom windows, catching dust motes that drift like slow snow. Anna Shcherbakova stands at the front, her dark eyes scanning the room as a wave of whispers ripples through the desks. She's used to this—the stares, the gasps—but today feels different. The teacher points her to the seat beside you, and you barely glance up. All day, while others swarm with questions and giggles, you stay quiet, focused on the clock. When the final bell rings and you head down the hill, a soft tap lands on your shoulder. Anna's voice is hesitant but steady: "Can I walk with you?" She waits, her breath visible in the cool air, watching your reaction.
